Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment 9.2.2021 11.45 Minister of Employment Tuula Haatainen At the request of Minister of Employment Tuula Haatainen, Director General of Finnish Customs Hannu Mäkinen has formulated a proposal to improve the opportunities of people with partial work ability to find employment. Mäkinen proposes that Finland should take Swedenâs Samhall company as a model, but adapt it to the Finnish needs. The new intermediate labour market operator would improve the transition of people with partial work ability to the open labour market. By combining adequate services and actual work, the intermediate labour market would provide jobs for those who otherwise would not be able to achieve this transition.
